Platform Architecture Overview

1.1 Overview

The CapsureLabs platform architecture is designed to support high scalability, security, and modularity. The system is optimized for Web3 interactions and integrates seamlessly with blockchain technologies, offering users a secure, efficient, and flexible environment. This section outlines the high-level structure of the CapsureLabs architecture, detailing its main components and data flow.

1.2 Architecture Components

The CapsureLabs architecture comprises three primary layers:

Responsible for user interaction and rendering of the platform’s user interface (UI).

1.2.1 Frontend Layer

The frontend layer consists of the user interface components and client-side logic, built to ensure a seamless experience for users across various roles—traders, creators, developers, and Web3 enthusiasts. It integrates with the backend through secure API endpoints and includes components for authentication, data visualization, and real-time updates.

Built with frameworks like React or Vue.js, it utilizes Web3 libraries (e.g., ethers.js, web3.js) to facilitate blockchain interactions.

1.2.2 Backend Layer

The backend layer serves as the control center for the platform, managing user requests, data processing, and integration with the blockchain layer. Key responsibilities include user authentication, access control, transaction processing, and communication with off-chain databases.

Developed using Node.js and Express for handling requests and a robust database system (e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB) for persistent storage.

Backend API Route for Retrieving User Data

const express = require('express');
const router = express.Router();
const userController = require('./controllers/userController');

// Route to fetch user profile data
router.get('/user/:id', async (req, res) => {
    try {
        const userData = await userController.getUserById(req.params.id);
        res.status(200).json(userData);
    } catch (error) {
        res.status(500).json({ message: 'Error fetching user data' });
    }
});

module.exports = router;

1.2.3 Blockchain Layer

The blockchain layer connects CapsureLabs to various blockchain networks, enabling decentralized functionalities such as NFT minting, smart contract execution, and DAO governance. Each blockchain interaction is securely managed to maintain data consistency and prevent unauthorized access.

Core business logic, including voting, asset management, and revenue sharing, is handled through smart contracts deployed on Ethereum and compatible chains.

Blockchain Interaction for NFT Creation

pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC721/ERC721.sol";

contract CapsureNFT is ERC721 {
    uint256 public tokenCounter;

    constructor() ERC721("CapsureNFT", "CPT") {
        tokenCounter = 0;
    }

    function createNFT(address recipient) public returns (uint256) {
        uint256 newItemId = tokenCounter;
        _safeMint(recipient, newItemId);
        tokenCounter += 1;
        return newItemId;
    }
}

1.3 Data Flow and Integration

Data flows within the CapsureLabs platform are carefully orchestrated to ensure secure and efficient handling of user information, blockchain data, and system-generated insights.

Data input by the user in the frontend is validated and passed to the backend via API requests.

1.4 Key Architectural Features

CapsureLabs architecture is designed to handle thousands of concurrent users by distributing tasks across microservices and efficiently managing server load.
